Monday

These are the things you are to do:

Speak the truth to each other,

and render true and sound judgment in your courts;

~Zechariah 8:16~

 

Please continue to pray for Mrs. Bonnie McMillan, Mrs. Catherine Yarborough, and Mr. James Miller who continue to be at North Oaks.

A number of people are dealing with illness and tests to diagnose problems.  One is Mrs. Velma Anthony who has been sick for several weeks now.  Please add her to your prayer list.
Mrs. Bessie Hayden has been sick for several weeks.  Yesterday, she made special efforts and attended church.  Pray she will soon be feeling better.
The Frozen Food for Families was delivered yesterday.  It was greatly appreciated.

Devotional, Scripture, and a Prayer

  • Show me, Lord,                                                                                                                                               my life’s end.                                                                                                                                                      ~Psalm 39:4~

Greenlaw Baptist Church is having revival.  Some of you may want to attend.  Each night begins with supper at 5:00.  The supper is provided by the church.

The Lord’s Church will host the annual associational meeting next Sunday evening.  Members of all area churches are invited to attend.  The service begins at 6 P.M.  If you wish to sing in the associational choir, you will need to be there earlier.

I just received a message from a lady who told me she made purchases for Operation Christmas Child and where she left them for me to find.  I certainly appreciate each person who helps.  What a blessing we receive when we give to such worthy causes!

Yesterday, as we prepared to leave church, a father and daughter stopped me to ask about what the daughter could purchase for Operation Christmas Child.  I gave them my thoughts.  Last night, the daughter called to tell me what she purchased and said she would be able to get more things.  She also told me she would be a part of packing the shoeboxes.  That’s the way you feel about OCC.  You cannot do enough to help pack the shoeboxes.  I’m thankful for that father who came with his daughter to talk with me and who encouraged her to be on the giving side of this project.  She is so blessed to have family members to encourage her young heart in the right direction.

Let’s allow the change in the weather be an encouragement to change something we do. There might be a bad habit that needs to disappear or a new one we need to develop.  This is a great time of the year!  We can make it even better by making some positive changes in our lives.
